1Opinion of the Court
TYMKOVICH, Circuit Judge.
Clifford Alan Scoville was convicted as a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2). At sentencing, the district court applied the violent felony enhancement of the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA), 18 U.S.C. § 924(e), because Scoville had three prior violent felony convictions. On appeal, Scoville contends the district court erred in applying this enhancement.
Because we conclude Scoville’s three pri- or convictions constitute violent felonies under the ACCA, we AFFIRM.
